Club Gear: Buffalo Soldiers Rd. 2 - Canadian Tuxedo

ILGear.com goes the distance for great lacrosse gear, traveling to all of the biggest events in the sport. Just like last year, we were camped out in the Adirondacks all week for the 23rd annual Lake Placid Summit Lacrosse Tournament, which brings many of the best players in the game to the Olympic Village for a week of great action and fun.

Here, you're bound to fall in love with the kit worn by the Buffalo Soldiers Open II division team. The outfit starts with a helmet wrap from Gorilla Wrapz that features a blonde mullet, a blue do-rag and facial stubble down on the chin piece of the Cascade helmets the team was wearing. Like the other teams, this squad is rocking custom Warrior Riot gloves in a sweet Rasta color scheme.

The theme of the jerseys and shorts is that of the Canadian tuxedo, a style of dress our friends to the North might very well have invented at some point in previous decades, perhaps the 1980s. The ripped shoulders and cut-off jean shorts just scream out: "We're here to party."

Check it out. Keep an eye out for more great club gear from Lake Placid. Tons of it on the way. In case you missed our all-encompassing coverage of Lake Placid, here's some links to help you out.

This is my man Chris Tocin, who has coached at the Division I and high school levels and is a well-known guy out in Western NY. Props to Chris for playing for multiple teams. He had to have been exhausted come Sunday. Here, he shows ILGear.com the Gorilla Wrapz with the mullet hairdo and the Buffalo Soldiers' red, yellow and green logo.
